Seattle, Sept. 8. Bobert L. Moore,
alias T. I). Bond, a telegraph operator
and confidence man, who with two
confederates fleeced several Senttlo
ltes out of nearly $4,000 a year ago,
was arrested here yesterday.
He arrived from "Frisco last Tues
day, wired up his rooms In his hotel
nnd told the suckers that io could
tap Western Union wires into tnree
local pool rooms nnd got race tips
from California and tho East. Ho
cleaned up over $2,000 from Seattle's
best known gamblers. Ho claims to
be Marconi's coast manager for In
stalling the wireless system.
There Is considerable poorly con-
coaled and some outspoken sympathy
with Moore, not because of his per
sonality or his methods, .but because
his victims have all beon gamblers
and professional chance' takers. In
no Instance did Moore obtrude his
scheme upon anyone but this class
of people and their Intentions to do
fraud wero as clearly defined and
unmistakable as his.
Doubts aro also expressed whether
tho testimony of Moore s accusers
will have wolght In any Washington
court, nnd It Is even thought proba
ble that they have no expectation of
convicting him, but only wish a re
turn of tholr money. Moore main
tains cn air of Jocular indlffcrcnco,
refusing to olther acknowledge or de
ny anything.

At this the stringed band of the

In every particular the day wag a
success, and the management is to
be congratulated on the success.
Tin- lux commissioners of tho O.
It. & N. Compnny nro In tho city to
day, and have taken up thu enso of
the high luxation of tho property of
the company before the county court.
Some time Inst week tho gentlemen
were heie, but not being" ready did
not submit I heir proposition to tho
board of cquullzntlon, which was
then In session.
Last Saturday the commissioners
sent to the board it statement of tho
county's sldo of (ho case, and nskod
Unit the board tnke the matter tinder
their consideration. But owing to
(he lateness of tho time It wns Im
possible for tho board lo net on tho
paper, nnd It passed by tho law to
the county court. According to tho
decision of tho supremo court the
county court shnll not tiuto such
(uses under consideration until tho
next session of tho court aitor the
adjournment or the board of equali
zation, but the rcprescntnttvos of tho
corporation como today and ask that
tho cbro be brought up.
This afternoon .Mr. Morrow appear
ed before tho court and nsked that
the tlnto of the hearing of the riui
be set at once for this soRslon.
Probably Be Heard September 23,
According to tho Interpretation of
the law by tho court tho soonest that
tho vubu can ho heard Is on tho 23d
of this month, when that body moots
In adjourned session, mid It is prov
able that thu consideration of the
controversy will bo put off until that
lime.
According In (he contention of tho
company tho tax cstlmalo on ibelr
property Is too high, und Is not on a
just basis with the surrounding prop
erty. They claim thai somo years
ugo the nsKcssinenl of nil of (ho land
wiih lowered wllh Iho exception of
(ho property or (he O. It. & N,, which
resulted vlituully In an advance for
tho compnny. Now when tho other
property of thu county Is raised nnd
(he compnny possessions along with
It, Iho corporation thereby gets n
double raise, which Is not right. Thoy
aro willing lo nrreift it raise from
$1,000 to $5,500 to tho milo without
a murmur, but to look $12,000 lp tho
race is to sen a vast shrinkage In tho
margin of their dividends nnd Hint
l hey do not like.
What the oulconio of tho matter
will bo Is a question. II h (bought by
somo lliut (he reason (ho potlilon wns
not put before (ho board whllo (hoy ,
hud time to consider It, wns In ordor '
to lake the matter out of tho hands
of tho board und thus throw tho volco
of the assessor out of the discussion.
Assessor Not In Court.
It Is known that Iho company
claims that tho assessor should not
have a pari In the adjustment of tho
uMsossiuent, for tho reason tnnt It Is
on (he principle of a Judge deciding
on tho justness of his own doclilon.
Hut bo this as It mny, it Is up to
tho court to tako Iho burden of (he
responsibility In settling tho mattur.
If tho republK'nn commissioners
lower tho assessment tho democrats,
will hold them up for It, and If the
democratic side of (ho court votes
with ono of tho republican commis
sioners ono or tho other of them will
step into tho political puddle on tho
other side. However, If tho court
thinks that tho assessment Is too
high they will undoubtedly shave It'
down. Whether or not It Is high, Is
tho question, In tho meantime, the
assessor says that ho litis the figures
In tho case, and tho commissioners
say that his figures aro not tho light
one, so the ni titter stands as a rid-
llo for Iho court to solve.
